About the event:

Jim will discuss the rapidly emerging phenomenon known as Servant Leadership that is taking the business world by storm.

Servant Leadership, a values and relational based approach to leadership seeks to create a high trust culture by turning “the bosses” into “the coaches,” ”the head-honchos” into “the mentors,” “the brass” into “the colleagues” and “the critics” into “the cheerleaders.”

Servant Leadership involves identifying and meeting the legitimate needs (as opposed to wants) of those entrusted to the care of the leader. It involves getting people involved from the “neck up” by not merely contributing their “hands and backs” but also volunteering their “hearts and minds.” It is a model of developing leaders of character who lead with authority (influence) rather than simply relying upon power (coercion).

Servant Leadership is currently practiced in some of America’s most admired and successful organizations including Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, AFLAC, Nestlé, Marriott and the United States Air Force. Over one-third of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for” and many of Fortune magazine’s “America’s Most Admired Companies” actively practice the disciplines of Servant Leadership.
